Which one is a better Aphid bot, Gepard or Patton?

Tx

No problem! That's what I like to do.

Have you bought any event chests yet? How did that go?

+1 on the Leo for aphids....after that, it is a crap shoot between the Patton and Gepard. Gep is faster but has only 3 aphids....the patton's 4 aphid punch is powerful but it is clunky to maneuver.

Gold chests were decent then looks like

Aphid with thunder? The benefit of this set up is that you can take down the shield of ancilots and carnages and fujins and then kill them with the aphids. The problem with the set up is that the Leo is slow and ponderous....oh well, at least you tried it. Aphids on griffs are also a good application....aphid Orkan or aphid taran.

Tried that too, prefer Pinatas and Mags for Griffin. Leo would always got hit hard after I fire and before I get back into cover.

Patton because it has 4 light weapon slots, gepard only 3.

I prefer Patton over Gepard. It has 33% more firepower and 45% more hp. Must get Patton to level 9 for max speed though.

I find it more effective because being a missile launcher it's better to follow behind heavies. The reds attention is on the big baddy in front of them so I stay back in relative safety lobbing insults. Still, stay close to cover and take note of the reds weapons.

The deficit of slower speed can be offset by being more careful about your position. In a faster bot I tend to get too hectic and run too close. On Yama, standing on your side of the center beacon ramp and launching Aphids over is super fun. Just stay down ramp and let your allies cap the beacon (unless you're the only one around). Take out reds on the side and be ready to drop off the ramp for cover if some deadly weapon set comes up.

Fast bots are a pain to kill with Aphids. A skilled pilot in a fast bot knows to continually be running in circles or diagonally to you. You need to let the heavies in front of you pin them down and be at an angle to hit them.

Aphids on a Leo (especially with an Ancile) is a great build, but I'm afflicted with the Aphid bug on Leo, about a third explode on launch.

I have a fond memory starting out, had 1 Aphid and was conjecturing getting more then in PP I saw it. From the side I watch a red Aphid Gep run up, launch 3 Aphids then disappear. Even though it was bad for my team it was such a beautiful sight; getting that build was no longer conjecture.

I just got a Gepard from a gold chest (event), and it's fantastic ,I played like 2 months with aphid patton,and it kinda got boring, but with aphid gepard it's a lot more fun ,the way you attack and run.. its kind of funny when you think of it lol,but anyway ,the gepard is better,and I have a question for aphid gepard users, is aphid gepard any good in high leagues? like gold or diamond or any high league?

I'm in expert 2 and I see an occasional Patton. Never see gepards anymore. They get 1 shotted.
